My 6-week kitten hasn't pooped since switching to wet food. Is this normal?

Question

We got a 6 week old kitten on JUly 25th. It had only been fed cows milk and milk from it's mother. Now we have it at our house and i was feeding it KMR and yesterday for the 1st time she ate soft canned food at 12 noon yesterday.. She was also given about a tablespoon of the soft canned food for breakfast and lunch today. But she still hasn't pooped. Is that ok? She is still peeing though. But literally she's only has 3 meals of soft canned food in total since yesterday at lunch time. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 16 days old | 2 lbs

A 6 week old kitten should be able to be on normal food without milk right now. I would wait another day to see if she poops. Constipation isn't super common in kittens, especially on wet food, but it is possible. If Luna doesn't have a bowel movement by tomorrow, she should get checked out by the vet.
